  • Notes on Stanbury
    D R A F T NOTES ON THE LORDSHIP AND MANOR OF STANBURY Pre-History Evidence of Mesolithic settlement on upland sites in the NW of West Yorkshire along the major watersheds; evidence from Stanbury Moor in the form of three geometric microliths. 1 Bronze Age Stone circle discovered near the site of Walshaw Dean reservoir (SD 967343) on Wadsworth Moor to the SW of Stanbury Moor. The circle, 11 metres in diameter, surrounded a smaller circle, also built of stones. A second circle (SD 96213155) surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1962 thought to be a hut circle rather than a ceremonial circle. 2 Numerous additional National Monuments are also situated within the boundaries of the Manor of Stanbury. Anglo-Saxon Place-name: Old English Stan Burh “Stone Fortification”. Editor notes (1961) that “no trace of the fortification remains”. 3 “It is extremely difficult to isolate specific Mercian place-names. Even those containing definite Mercian forms, such as the inflected bury, rather than the uninflected borough from the OE burh (e.g. Stanbury, Dewsbury) may not go back to the 7th century, but may simply be the result of Mercian elements in the local dialect. Moreover, even if a place bears a probable Mercian name, this cannot be taken to indicate that it was actually occupied by Mercians.. It is, therefore, impossible at present to isolate specific Mercian settlements, but the possibility of their existence must be borne in mind in the course of future archaeological work in the county, especially in Agbrigg and Morley wapentakes, where the strongest evidence for Mercian influence is to be found in the place-names.” 4 Manor of Bradford held by Gamel.

    Keighley Community Led Local Development KEIGHLEY COMMUNITY LED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2017-2022 1. INTRODUCTION This Local Development Strategy (LDS) has been developed by the Keighley Community Led Local Development (CLLD) Local Action Group (LAG), and validated by businesses, residents and other stakeholders within the CLLD area. The LAG has agreed the overall vision for the CLLD area as: Keighley CLLD area, by 2022, will be an enterprising, aspirational and positive place, where: our people are personally accountable and able to develop resilience and self-esteem, increasing well-being; our businesses are innovative and productive, and supported to set up and grow; diversity is respected, understood and appreciated; there is connectivity, integration, networking, amongst businesses and residents; pathways are put into place to help us to upskill and ‘grow our own’; and encourage and support sustainable career progression; and the environment is clean, green and attractive. This strategy sets out the needs of the Keighley CLLD area and our proposed approach to investing £6m (£1.5m ESF, £1.5m ERDF, £2.1m Public resources and £0.9m private resources) to address these needs, capitalising on the strengths and opportunities in the area, whilst reducing the weaknesses and threats impacting on the economy, businesses and local population, thereby contributing to the achievement of the vision. 2. KEIGHLEY CLLD AREA The Keighley CLLD area is nine miles from Bradford City Centre and falls in the Bradford Metropolitan District Council local authority area, within Leeds City Region. Keighley is Bradford District’s largest town after the city centre. It became part of Bradford Metropolitan District in 1974.

We continually review the use of our commercial network and are making some changes to ensure we use our resources to best meet customer demand. We’ve also taken the opportunity to make some changes to some of our longest routes, so that customers on one side of the city aren’t affected as much by delays, disruption and traffic on the opposite side of the city. Broadway Shopping Centre This great new facility in the centre of Bradford opens on Thursday 5 November - and with all of our services stopping close by, using the bus is an ideal way to get there! Bradford Area Tickets - extended to Pudsey! We’ve received a number of requests from customers, following the improvements to service 611 in August, so we’re revising the boundary of our Bradford day, week, month and year tickets to include the full 611 route between Bradford and Pudsey. On Hyperlink 72, these Bradford area tickets will be valid as far as Thornbury Barracks. Service changes Service 576 minor route change Halifax – Queensbury – Bradford In Bradford the route of this service will change, with buses running via Great Horton Road, serving the University of Bradford and Bradford College, replacing services 613/614.

  • Trade Directories
    Local Studies Collection Trade Directories Trade Directories From the late 18th century until the present day, directories form a valuable source of local information. The amount of information contained varies according to the date and compiler. Early directories may contain: i) A general account of the district, usually with population statistics ii) Details of local government iii) Alphabetical list of streets iv) Alphabetical list of residents, though not comprehensive v) Classified trades section Directories published after about 1880, and particularly the 'Post Office Directories', are much more detailed, and in addition to the features listed above usually include: i) Advertisements for local firms ii) Political information about the district iii) Churches and chapels, including date of opening iv) Local Societies v) Clubs, theatres, libraries, cemeteries vi) Railways and local transport services vii) Brief accounts of surrounding village A map was usually included with the directories. These have been taken out, and are filed in the map collection. After the Second World War, many firms ceased to produce local directories, due to the difficulty of keeping information up-to-date. In the post-war period, the Barrett directories began to appear, and from 1981, Thomson’s directories can be a useful source of information. However these directories are not as detailed as earlier ones. Telephone directories from 1935 supplement Barretts and Thomsons. Some specialist textile directories are also held such as ‘Bradford Exchange Co. Ltd.’ 1916-1975, ‘Skinners Wool Trade’ and ‘Worrall’s Yorkshire Textile Director’ 1910-1971. Directories are for Reference Only. Please ask the staff if you cannot see the one that you want on the shelves.

A introduction 8pp:Layout 1 30/7/08 10:01 Page 3 Introduction What is Bradford City of Film? Bradford seeks to become the first City of Film in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and join the growing network of cities from around the globe that apply to the Network to promote their local creative scene and share their interest in UNESCO’s mission. UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network is designed to promote the social, economic and cultural development of cities in both the developed and the developing world. Home to some of the earliest pioneers of cinema and the celebrated location of many classic films, Bradford can trace a proud and accomplished film heritage. Now, the city's film related stakeholders have devised a vision that draws on this history and acknowledges the vital role film plays in the social and cultural life of this ethnically diverse city.
